Indian National Solar Mission

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (also known as the National Solar Mission) was inaugurated by former Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh on 11th January, 2010. The initiative was set up by the Government and State Governments of India to promote the development of solar technologies in the region and address the challenges of India’s growing energy demand.

The aggressive solar strategy has a target of reaching 100GW by 2022, making the Indian market the fastest growing solar market in the world. The IEA predicts that by 2020, 327 GW of power generation capacity will be needed to accommodate India`s growing economy and population. This would imply an addition of 16 GW per year. This urgent need reflects the aggressive plan to generate 100GW from Solar by 2022.

On 20th October 2015 the total commissioned solar in India reached 4,575 MW.
